I think that to be an effective piece, a song needs to get a point across. Not only should it have some complexities to it, but it should have some meaning to it, it should make some emotions run through everyone's head. When I was in the District 1 honors festival we performed a song called "How Can I Keep From Signing," it was a very powerful song. There was a real connection between the song and the choir. We were all there for our love of music, and how can we keep from singing! The arrangement that we had wasn't too dificult, but it was awesome when performed. We also performed a lot of songs about friendship (especially around graduation) that meant a lot, and were very effective.
